The Charlie Brown Philosophy

To my ever good friend Charlie Brown,

I stumbled upon a thing or two you said back in your heyday. It struck me as truthful and funny and profound all at the same time. And I quote, "I've developed a new philosophy... only dread one day at a time."  

I cannot thank you enough for having the wisdom to develop this for me. In confusing times such as the ones I'm living, this has been the turn of the tides. I'd like to confess that I am a big fan of dread, self-loathing, anger, and all the negative things you can name from the top of your head. It is too easy to just break yourself into pieces and never allow anyone (or yourself for that matter) to put you back together. 

Most of the time I dread the thought of waking up because it seems that mornings are all infinite. But I will imbibe your philosophy and think of dreading today and this day only.

Thank you.

                 

You and your almost indefatigable smile. xoxo
